How to Use this Blog

This blog is designed to be used like a cookbook. I've put tags on each recipe so you can go to the section on that topic just by clicking on the word in the cloud or the list. Some recipes are under more than one category to help you find what you're looking for.

Cheese Wafers

I got a lot of compliments on these crackers at the annual Womens Retreat at Gilmont this weekend. I can't take credit for them because I got the recipe from a cookbook the Dallas Arboretum put out. It has recipes of some of the great dishes they serve in their tea room.

No matter where it came from this recipe produces a crisp, light and tasty savory for afternoon tea:

Blend the butter and cheese together. Add the pecans and spices and mix well. Add the flour and mix well.
Roll this into a 2 inch roll. Wrap in plastic and chill.........30 minutes in the freezer will do. Use the refrigerator if you will chill longer. You don't want to have to cut frozen dough.

Slice into 1/4 inch slices. Bake at 350 degrees 10-15 minutes or so until crisp.

After they've cooled you can freeze them if you need to. This makes about 36. Maybe a bit more. I tasted some and kind of lost track of how many I ate.

About Me

When someone asks me what I "do" for a living I used to say I am retired. But lately I've started saying that I'm a typist for the Holy Spirit. Casper Supreme, as I like to call the Holy Ghost, keeps me busy and I have three different blogs. My main blog is for writing practice. I used to post on a weekly basis but now I've freed Casper up and we just post whenever we get together. If you are my friend on facebook you'll get a note to go to Jane's Journey.
I have a food blog with recipes and the stories that go with them. Our family likes to eat so we do a lot of cooking. That blog is called My Life in Food.
I have a third blog for all those unique and interesting things life brings. It's not really stories as much as experiments or discoveries. That one is called Really Cool Stuff. Lately, it's been mostly my work with labyrinths.
I always welcome comments or questions. My email address is jane@2els.net
